Price and allowance transparency6.0/10
Public price with unlimited standard image generation and 4,000 credits for premium features; credits do not roll over and annual-monthly plans have an exit fee.
Free plan, trial and refund8.0/10
Free plan with daily generations, a free trial on Pro, and a full refund within 14 days of first purchase.
Plan feature coverage5.0/10
Adobe and partner models, Generative Fill/Expand and Photoshop/Express integration; custom models and API are enterprise items.
Output rights and data use6.0/10

Questions

From Adobe Firefly’s published terms. Not legal advice.

Is Adobe Firefly free?

Yes, a free plan gives limited daily generations; the daily count is not published.

Can I cancel Firefly Pro?

Within 14 days for a full refund; after that, annual plans billed monthly charge 50% of the remaining term.

Is Firefly output safe for commercial use?

Adobe says its own models' output is; outputs from partner models are not covered by that claim.
